Have you seen the new girls pajamas at Tea Collection? They are all very sweet, and I know that I've heard from many of my friends who are parent's about how hard it is to find good pajamas, so I was excited to show them these. Of course there are awesome pajamas for boys as well.

Talking to my mom on the phone yesterday convinced me that I am NOT TOO early with starting the BKids Gift Guide series for this year :):) ... while I was thinking 'do we have to start already thinging Christmas'... there she is very happy telling me how she already started preparing and completely looking forward celebrating this festive time of the year.

I hope you are happy with this kick-off too and more important I hope this Gift Guide will help you find the perfect gift for any child in your life...

We made a seperate webpage for the Gift Guide 2011 right here. On the sidebanner you will find the sponsors of the Gift Guide, all specialised in great products for children. Would be great if you could visit them too.

A bit later today I will share with you the first category of the BKids Gift Guide 2011. But let me start with showing you the banner designs that were submitted to my call two weeks ago. It was difficult for me to choose which banner I liked best, you need to scroll down in this post to found out who the winner is... what would have been your choice?

A BIG thank you to all who took the time and create something special for BloesemKids!

Slowly the Holiday Season is starting and I know many of you are still doing all sorts of preparations for Halloween and while you are in the midst of doing this it is perhaps fun to think of a different way of setting up a tree this year... or NOT setting up a tree but hanging it on your wall. Not only a great space saver, also very eco-friendly and safe, especially when you have young children.
